You can measure the dwell signal from the lambda system from the orange lead on that plug. I believe the purple lead is a ground, but I have always used an engine ground when taking the dwell signal...
There's a 2 pin connector in the engine harness, mine was behind the idle speed motor but you might have to fish for it. One of the wires in this connector is Orange, you can use this for a dwell...
No but as I removed the housing I heard the fuse pop and the left side lights went out... Also matches up with the time I wiggled the wiring harness from the LH tail light and the fuse popped,...
Fuse blew again..
Just in time for my package of LED's to arrive. Removed all the lights from the rear end, gave the circuit boards another cleaning.
Found the ground wire from the left...
This did the trick... or at least helped isolate the issue. With the bulkhead connector unplugged the fuse did not blow again. I removed the circuit board and cleaned it, there seemed to be some...
Does that run go forward from the fuse box before heading to the rear?
Noticed my LH running lights were out when I parked last night. Fuse #2 was blown.
Swapped a fuse this afternoon and switched my lights on. Immediately blew the replacement.
I'm assuming I have...
Even better. I am considering taking the panel off myself to transport it to some shop for repair. Was going to call around and see what I could get in terms of estimates on the work before I ship or...
Good to know. Is it very difficult to remove these panels? I haven't done any research yet to determine the scope of work to remove this one, I assume I have to remove rear fascia.
No note, nothing. I had been parking in the same spot for a long time with no incident, i was scoping it out today and it looks like someone pulled into this ramped loading dock that leads to some...
Drove it to work for the first time in a few weeks after replacing a lot of engine components. Just arrived home and noticed the rear faschia wasn't aligned and then found a dent in the LH rear...
OK. I have a spare o2 sensor already. My oil smells a bit Gassy so I'm gonna change it. I probably dumped a bunch of gas into it with my dumb mistake.
Thanks Dave and Dave for all your feedback...
So I'm a bit embarrassed but I think I've sorted it out.....
I just drove it around the block and it was dying when I clutched. In had this same problem earlier this summer and remedied it by...
So i just went and adjusted the CO lean (Counter clockwise, by quite a few turns) and managed to get it to fire up and idle with the RPM relay installed. It's still pretty smokey exhaust but that may...
OK! That is a good sign that I don't need to scramble to order a new relay.
So does jumping the FV and fuel pump put my engine in a normal enough condition to check the dwell and adjust the CO? I...
I had originally tuned it 'by ear' because I didn't have the o2 sensor connected so my dwell signal was useless. When I hooked the o2 back up I attached a dwell meter and was able to better adjust my...
Car was running great before changing everything. I thought I had problems with my lambda system that were causing an idle hunt, but tracked down the issue to an unpluged vacuum advance solenoid....
I jumped Pins 30 & 87 on the RPM relay Socket. I'd have to go back down and look to see the color codes. If this is only jumping 'one side' does this tell me my Fuel pump is OK?
Last weekend I replaced the following
Distributor Cap/Rotor
Spark Plugs & Wires
Fuel Lines & Hardware
Ignition Coil
Vacuum Hoses
Air Filter
When I had it all put back together (Less the...
Driver side rear wheel well. Towards the front of the car inside the well you can feel a single wire with a rubber boot over the connector. Slide back the boot and remove the spade connector from the...
I'm pretty sure you have to cut the tube. I don't want to do that because the tube is only about 1" long between the frame and the evaporator. Then I'd have t come up with some way to patch it, which...
Did you apply air pressure from the evaporator side? My evaporator drain connection is still intact and I am trying to avoid breaking it. I figure it's not the best idea to apply air pressure...
After clearing my AC drain hose last week, it only lasted about a week before leaking again. I managed to get a hose around the drain hose by only jacking the front passenger corner up, and did not...
So I probably have the front end recall, and stabilizer bar mounting points. Great, Better then neither.
